Title: Centrifugal separator and rotor therefor
Inventor: WEINDORF MARTIN

Granted: 2011-10-19
Abstract: A rotor (10, Fig 2) for a centrifugal separator (12) for circulated engine lubricant is formed by end walls (44, 46) and radially outer and inner side walls (42, 52) that define a separation and containment region 82. The wall (52) is defined by a tubular tension member (50) that surrounds a rotation axis (30) and extends between and through the end walls to keep them in position. Mounted within first and second ends (72, 74) of the tubular tension member are a first-end closure plug (86) and second-end closure plug (88) respectively. The plug (88) has a passage (90) to admit liquid into the tubular member, but otherwise each plug is seated to inhibit passage of liquid from the member end. Each plug comprises a body component seated by interference fit and has an integral axially extending component (86', 88') that forms a mounting pin by which the rotor can be mounted within bearing parts (24, 28) of the housing. Any closure plug may be assembled from separate plug body and mounting pin component that is fixed or rotatable with respect to the body. The closure plugs may extend along the tubular member and be coupled to each other or be formed integrally as a unitary body. Alternatively, assembled plugs may share a common mounting pin component that extends between discrete plug bodies.

Abstract: A system for adjusting the height of a built-in household appliance, in particular a washing machine, includes a relay bar (1) extending from the front side of the machine to a rear corner (2) where an adjustable foot (3) is located, the rear end of said bar (1) being rotationally restrained in a horizontal gear (4) enmeshed with an adjacent vertical gear (5) housed in a casing (6) integral with the machine, said vertical gear (5) being aligned with a hole (2a) through which a seat (8) is secured on the machine. The foot (3) is formed by a base (3a) of non-skid material integral with a stud comprising a bottom shaped portion (3b) and a top threaded portion (3c), the seat (8) has a shape corresponding to the shape of the stud bottom portion (3b) that is rotationally restrained therein, and the vertical gear (5) has an internal thread, formed by means of a nut (9) locked in a corresponding seat (5a), in which the stud top portion (3c) is screwed. In this way it is possible to make the foot (3) with the stud integral with the non-skid base (3a), given that both of them remain still during the height adjustment, and dispensing with the play between the stud and the base (3a) makes the foot (3) more resistant to vibrations whereby the oscillations in the spin-drying phase are dramatically reduced.

The feather/spring (20) of the coupling element (22) is stretched opposite to the promoter direction. The promoter (12) with the coupling element (22) is revolved along a joint axis relative to an actuator (30) connected with the coupling element (22). The actuator is introduced into the indicator cylinder and the promoter (12) after eliminating the coupling interferences by support mechanism. Balance arrangements in the promoter direction are intensively varied with the coupling interferences and this variation is eliminated by the spring action. Any two of the balanced arrangements are overlapped with each other in a propulsion direction to form balanced structures.

Abstract: A wireless terminal using OFDM signaling supporting both terrestrial and satellite base station connectivity operates using conventional access probe signaling in a first mode of operation to establish a timing synchronized wireless link with a terrestrial base station. In a second mode of operation, used to establish a timing synchronized wireless link with a satellite base station, a slightly modified access protocol is employed. The round trip signaling time and timing ambiguity between a wireless terminal and a satellite base station is substantially greater than with a terrestrial base station. The modified access protocol uses coding of access probe signals to uniquely identify a superslot index within a beaconslot. The modified protocol uses multiple access probes with different timing offsets to further resolve timing ambiguity and allows the satellite base station access monitoring interval to remain small in duration. Terrestrial base station location/connection information is used to estimate initial timing.
